The best way to not fall behind is to stay caught up!

Before the first day gets here, set a study schedule:

1.  Get home - 3:00

2.  Get a snack - 3:10

3.  Begin homework - 3:20

4.  Dinner - 6:00

5.  Finish homework - 6:30

6.  Online time - 9:30

7.  Bedtime - 10:00

Stick to the schedule and do something the first even if there isn't much homework.  Read a book or magazine.  Read ahead a couple of pages in each class.

Ask questions and ask for help AS SOON AS you don't understand!

Have a great year!
